+          This builds sbp2 for use with non-OHCI host adapters which do not
+          support physical DMA or for when ohci1394 is run with phys_dma=0.
+          Physical DMA is data movement without assistence of the drivers'
+          interrupt handlers.  This option includes the interrupt handlers
+          that are required in absence of this hardware feature.
+
+          This option is buggy and currently broken on some architectures.
+          If unsure, say N.
